N8 need a 2-pin midland to cellphone jack converter/adapter

this may not be the appropriate forum for this question, but i'll ask anyways.

 

i am trying to find a 2-pin Midland to a cellphone jack converter or adapter that would work with my N8.

 

did anyone come across this problem before and can either share a know-how as to how to make one, or, preferrably, where to buy one?

Best that I could suggest would be whether you could utiise a couple of these with 4 pin 3.5mm Jack as Nokia pinout fairly easily found:
